Review Your School & Win an iPad 2

How do you show school spirit for your school or your kid's? Do you cheer at the games, wear the school colors or rock the gear?

We know the quality of a school is measured by a lot more than just its test scores. It's the about the creativity of the teachers, the commitment of its administrators, the way the lunch lady treats the kids, the sense of community, the vibe on campus, and most of all the overall quality of the education.

And let's face it, there are so many schools out there and they are all so different.

So when the time comes to choose a new school, how can you look beyond test scores and make sure you pick the right one? Well, Education.com has a resource to do just that and we're enlisting the SheSpeaks community to help make it better. Help us create a robust resource where people can learn what parents and the students themselves think about each school and your efforts will be rewarded.

Review your or your kids' school on Education.com and enter to win a shiny new iPad 2!

This is great! School is not just about academics but environment, experience and growth.
Additionally, I have created a non-traditional opportunity for schools to be able to fundraise through my passing the bluck program http://mamamob.com/deals-mamamob/passing-the-buck/ Several schools in my district are participating and its not limited by region or location. Would love it to be added to the fundraising list

Loved doing this! It's not only a great way for schools to recognize what they are doing right but to fix what's not working.
I wish I would have known(about/or they had)this 11 years ago! I would have loved to see reviews on schools before deciding on one!
So cool!
